The waste material, known as marj, produced by olive mills in Tafrant Commune, Taounate Province, is one of the most significant pollutants threatening the local environment and groundwater quality in the region, posing a major environmental challenge that requires urgent intervention to protect water resources.
Marj accumulates in large quantities in the lands surrounding the olive mills, containing organic and toxic substances that could pollute the groundwater, particularly the water from the Al-Wahda Dam, which is the primary source of water in the area. Experts confirm that this pollution could negatively impact water quality, affecting the health of local residents, wildlife, and contaminating water used for both human and agricultural consumption.
In this context, farmers and environmental experts emphasize the need to address this issue by developing new technologies to properly and safely treat marj waste. Additionally, raising awareness among olive mill owners on safe disposal methods is one of the effective solutions that can help reduce the environmental impact of this material on water resources.
Local authorities and environmental organizations stress the importance of coordinating with relevant authorities to enforce strict environmental laws and standards regarding olive mills. They also highlight the need for training workshops for farmers on sustainable agricultural practices that do not harm the environment.
Addressing this problem requires collective commitment from all parties involved to protect the local environment and ensure the continued availability of clean water in the Taounate region for future generations.
